Trees in Roodepoort
Roodepoort stretches from old mining ground around Florida and Maraisburg to the ridges and estates of Ruimsig, Wilgeheuwel and Little Falls. The older side has bluegum rows on mine land and big pines in established gardens; the newer side has estates with small stands, imported garden trees and indigenous bush on the rocky ridges near the Walter Sisulu National Botanical Garden. Honeydew still has smallholdings with long gum windbreaks. Summer storms gather over the western ridges and hit here early, often with hail. Homeowners ask for trimming and felling in tight gardens, smallholders want gums cleared, and estates book trimming of common areas. Check whether trees on ridge stands are indigenous and protected before cutting.
The requests we see from Roodepoort usually come from:
- Homeowners: lifting branches off the gutter, driveway and pool fence without a ladder
- Estates, complexes and body corporates: keeping branches clear of estate roads, walkways and street lights
- Farms, smallholdings and plantations: pruning avocado, mango and citrus trees from the ground in the orchard
